In recent decades, artists such as Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock and Banksy have embraced new mediums and pushed artistic boundaries even further.
Brimming with fabulous quotes, this little book offers a window into the minds of some of the world’s most admired artists and thinkers – and is a vibrant celebration of the evolution of art through the ages.

A modern mothering handbook – with none of the answers and all of the encouragement.
Everyone tells you that having children is life-changing (and we’re not just talking about your new habit of binge-watching Bluey episodes), but you don’t really believe them until you’re there in the trenches, dealing with yet another toddler tantrum in the middle of the street, after realising you forgot to buy milk, all on four hours of (broken) sleep. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and yet everyone assumes you should be enjoying it twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, which is funny because that pretty much describes your working hours. Oh, and did we mention that there are no toilet breaks, or holidays, or dare we say it… wages?
This book will be a handy companion as you deal with the ups and downs of motherhood. From making your way through those first few months of the newborn haze right through to sending them off into the world as (almost) proper adults, it contains a treasure trove of advice and words of wisdom from parents who have done it and got the (vomit-covered) T-shirt to prove it. While motherhood is undoubtedly special, it’s not without it’s challenges… and anyone who says otherwise is either a saint or has a really good nanny.

No writer, before or since, has matched Shakespeare in terms of influence, critical acclaim or popular success. And the Bard had plenty to say about the subject of love – the word appears more than 2,000 times in his collected works! Packed full of timeless reflections on the subject – from the star-crossed devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the witty rhetoric in Much Ado About Nothing – and complemented by fascinating facts about Shakespeare and his works – this Little Book contains some of the most romantic and profound lines ever written in the English language.

“Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you,
Did my heart fly at your service.”
Ferdinand – The Tempest, Act 3, Scene 1

“Did my heart love till now?
Forswear it, sight!
For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.”
Romeo – Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5

Doubt that the sun doth move his aides,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.”
Hamlet – Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2

No-one has influenced the modern rom-com genre as much as Shakespeare. Perhaps the Bard’s most influential romantic comedy is Much Ado About Nothing, the timeless tale of sworn enemies who become lovers. Countless pop-culture pairings owe a debt to the play, from Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice to the leads in When Harry Met Sally and Something’s Gotta Give.

Shakespeare’s best-loved sonnet, “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?”, touches on the themes of unattainable love and mortality. The poem is part of Shakespeare’s “Fair Youth” sequence of sonnets, which many historians believe are actually about a young man.

May your troubles be less and your blessings be more.

The history of Irish blessings can be traced back to the early Celtic culture of Ireland, a culture rich in oral tradition and storytelling, and blessings and expressions of good wishes, kindness and positivity were a common part of daily life.

Over time, they became an integral part of the Irish cultural identity, and they were brought to other parts of the world by Irish immigrants.
